A short time after dinner he was seen with
some matches, and after kissing his aged wife
he started towards the barn, and nothing
more was thought Of his strange conduct
until half an hour afterwards, when the barn
was discovered to be in flames. At once the
fears Of all were aroused and it was believed
that Father Rose was perishing in the flames.
The fire had gained such headway that it
was impossible to enter the barn, but as
soon as circumstances would permit search
was made among the smoking embers, and
to their horror, the headless and legless body
of Father Rose was discovered burned ts

Our Forests.

The forest lands of the United States,
excluding Alaska, embrace 500, 900, 600
acres, or twenty-eight per cent. of the
entire area. The farmers own about
thirty-eight per cent. Of the forest area,
or some 1S5, 900, 600 acres. The rest is
owned by railroad corporations, mine
owners, charcoal burners, tanneries,
llmbermen and spectators. The far
mers are the most desirable class of
owners. They know the value of their
wood, and devote time and thought to
their preservation. They wrought sad
havoc with the forests in earlier days,
when the f'clearings'' were made, and
when the trees had no positive value and
had no market. Now they cherish their
wood lands, and add yearly millions Of
trees for shelter and Identification, and
for subsequent profit to those who will
come after them. The farmers area Of
forest is increasing in all the Western
States, and groves are as plentiful as in
the days of the Druids in England, or of
the classic deities Of Greece and Italy,
and are put to much better purpose.
One thing is to be noted, that trees will
flourish on land which will not return
remunerative crops. The conifers will
thrive under apparently most inhospit-
able conditions. Forest trees return to
the soil the nutriment they take from it,
thus maintaining its productive power
and encouraging their own growth.
The routes OF transportation now render
access to market easy. by land or water,
and these facilities, with the extension
of railroads, grow better every year. The
railroads need many hundreds of ties for
each mile CSC, 100000 year in all, at
an average of two ties to tree), and
these ties must be renewed every seven
or ten years. Ono acre Of land may com
tain and perfect from fo,ir to six hun
adrel trees. Ina few years these trees
will D odgce il rich harvest Of ties, and
the sitrplas wood will give an immense
supply for feel or fensing. The farmer
wish Il big wood lot may well ask,
What shall the harvest bc2'' and then
look ont for q rich profit. AS matters
N, the thirt5-cight per cent owned by
the farmers now will sooa be seventy
five lser cent. Of the tree area. 4nssr-iicsa

A correspondent OF the Woodville

4 correspondent Of the Woodville
Republican makes the following sugges-
tons touching the free school system:
''Instead OF granting free school tuition
to all children-as is now the law-from
5 to q years OF age, let it be from s to 16
years. Or, to put it in other words, I
propose to lessen tie limit OF the educa-
bic age that we may double the length
Of the annual free school session. Thus
instead OF giving each child four months
schooling per year for l5 years, let us
give him months tuition annually for S
years. Ii the principle upon which our
common-school system is built be all
correct-that the State for its own safety
must educate its youth-let us judicious-
apply that principle. AS matters now
stand, the child barely gets well under
way by the end OF the four months ses-
sion and likely foigets his little store of
knowledge therein acquired during the
next s months intermission."

 bered that his birthplace, "The Slashes," is only about eight miles from Richmond. Besides the statues in the rotunda of the building, there arc many valuable paintings of colonial and revolutionary celebrities, as well as those of later times. The majority of the paintings are the originals, and in many instances the only ones in ex- istence. There are perhaps, the DOT traits of more great men hung on these walls, men who have made a name in national history, than any other state can boast. There are orig inal portraits of Washington, Madi- son, Monroe, Tyler, Harrison, Mar shall, Jackson, Johnson, the Lees and host of others whose names light up many a page of history. The old cap- itol has been the scene of much that is greatest in the history of Virginia and the south. In the hall of the house of delegates the trial of Aaron Burr, the brilliant New Yorker, was held, John Marshall being the judge, and the er- ratio John Randolph of Roanoke the foreman of the jury. Grouped irreg- ularly around the historical capitol square are the buildings once occu- pied by the various departments of the Confederacy and the residences oi the members of its cabinet. All ol them are now used as hotels, stores or private residences, with the exception of the presidents mansion, which was purchased by the municipal govern ment and is used as public school.

Ienks' Dream,

Jenks had queer dream the other night. He thought he saw prize fighters ring, and in the middle of it stood doughty little champion who met and deliberately knocked over, one by one, a score or more oi big, barly- looking fellows, as they advanced to the attack. Giants as they were in size, the valiant pigmy proved more than match for them. It was all so funny that Jenks woke up laughing. He accounts for the dream by the fact that he had just come to the conclusion, after trying nearly every big, drastic pin on the market that Pierce's tiny Purgative Pellets easily "knock out" and beat an the rest hollow!
